A major fire broke out in a car company on the NieuwZeelandweg in the Western Docklands on Friday evening. The fire brigade had difficulty controlling the fire, but has now got the flames under control. A spokesperson for the fire brigade said that the fire had spread to eight adjacent companies.

The fire broke out around 9:30 PM at a company specializing in car electronics. The business premises can no longer be saved. A spokesperson for the fire brigade said that the fire had spread to eight adjacent companies.

Shortly after the fire broke out, the fire brigade scaled up to a ‘very large fire’, which means that additional equipment, including from fire brigade units outside Amsterdam, was deployed to extinguish the fire.
